Mickly Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 Put the camper up for sale on Autotrader, immediately got calls from bloody Pikeys asking how much for cash today, no other questions. One of them phoned twice and tried to deny, then got abusive when I called him out. I told the first one I wasn’t gonna let him chip me with a shit offer so he could flip it immediately for a profit, he hung up. 1 Quote

Fozzie Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 Good evening! I've officially thrown my hat in the ring, and I'm going after chartership. I'll be CEng by 2025 with any luck. I don't usually like governing bodies like the IET, I've previously fallen out with them for a mixture of things. There's a lot of cronyism, and it comes over as an old boys club sometimes. But by joining, I at least have a chance of affecting change, even if locally to me in my company. I don't think I'll put the letters after my name if and when I get it, too many people do it smugly or as a put down. 7 Quote
rennie Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 Good Morning Go for it @Fozzie! I wish I'd done it years ago when I had chance! 1 Quote

I never bothered with the post-nominals either - However, when I got a 'formal' letter from my boss with post-nominals, I replied with mine (which triggered a conversation as to how long it took him to gain MiET (3 years - compared to my 6 months) and what DipEM stood for - Diploma in Engineering Management). NB. the DipEM got me a new position in a different department at a higher salary (so it is sometimes worthwhile). Good luck! 2 Quote
